Exactly. Abuse is almost always a wait-and-see approach whereas law enforcement has shot and killed over petty theft. It’s almost like the police in charge of keeping us safe perpetuate a climate of escalating violence.
That is incredible luck. I'm so glad that happened to you, but yeah, the for profit medical system is inherently inhumane. For profit education, for profit medicine and for profit prisons should not be a thing. Ever.
Regarding point #1, he’s not even the first actor to portray Frank Underwood, let alone the only one capable.

I have worked in politics and government for almost 20 years, and McCaskill’s comments reflect identical sentiments to the Boomers (people who have worked here since the 1970s) in my office.
I think it’s the contrasting mindsets of the Boomers and Millennials. My parents are Boomers and used to tell me about horrible policies, “that’s just the way things are.” Whereas we Millennials are like “fuck that, get out of our way so we can make things better.”
